Re: What has happened to Britain?

If my 3 and a half year old has anythig to do with it, we'd be in Florida tomorrow!!!!


His mother and grandmother tell him constantly that we'll be going soon (to see Mickey mouse et al!). I don't get a say in this, just an ulcer from trying to earn enough to pay for it!!!!!

I think my final word on politicians has got to be that how a politician is portrayed in the media has even more impact on his popularity than we realise - and I think we already know it's very important. For instance, in this country, John Kerry is seen as the greatest political force since JFK! I read Time and some of the broadsheets, and whilst our press are trying to engineer the downfall of George Dubya, they talk Mr Kerry up. I think this is the classic British thing of favouring the underdog, and taking those on top off their pedestals.

I must say, the idea of all that golfing for £15 is rather tempting............ !
